#4: Oysters…

132 outbreaks, over 3000 illnesses reported.

Oysters, usually considered a specialty food, often carry germs like Norovirus and Vibro. When undercooked or eaten raw, these germs are ingested, giving the consumer symptoms that range from vomiting and diarrhea to red blood blisters on the skin. Consuming those Raw Oysters on the Half Shell isn’t really worth that.
